Kicking off the recruiting seasion, the luncheon with JP Morgan on January 16 and with Lehman Bros on January 17 allowed SWIB members to network with current executives in each company before their respective info sessions in the evening. Attendees were seated at small tables and enjoyed small group discussions with company representatives over delicious food.
1/27: SWIB Interns: ROLLOUT
We welcomed our first year of SWIB Interns who work under each of the VPs and Directors to gain invaluable leadership experience through planning and organizing various SWIB events. They were also properly rolled out on the morning of January 27th. :)
1/27: Mini-MBA - Interview Preparation Workshop
Led by current SWIB co-presidents Anjali Vaidya and Ooshma Garg, the mini-MBA workshop proved to be a popular and useful event in light of the upcoming recruiting interviews season.
1/28: SWIB Etiquette Workshop
Appropriate titled "What They Don't Teach You at Business School", our Etiquette Workshop was an eye-opening primer on how to properly conduct oneself in business settings. On Monday evening, January 28, 2008, Alicia Warwick met with Stanford Women in Business members to discuss the importance of etiquette in business. Ms. Warwick discussed how to make a formal introduction, how to manage pre-employment business communications, how to behave at a cocktail hour, and how to eat at a formal setting. Ms. Warwick, a graduate of Harvard College and former pole vaulter, was an excellent lecturer.
Ms. Warwick commenced her career as an investment bank analyst in Manhattan; however, she, too, was once a Stanford alum (she also was educated at Harvard). Thus, she was able to really speak to our ladies' concerns! Ms. Warlick is most likely the first SWIB speaker who has appeared in a gossip magazine, due to her affiliations with Prince Albert of Monoco. Check it out!!!
